Dual Maze Rush (DEMO)

A fast, two-cursor maze rush with rhythm-pulsing visuals, split-brain controls, and three bite-sized modes. Guide two squares at once through shifting labyrinths—solo with both hands or hand one to a friend. Easy to pick up, deceptively hard to master.

What is it?

In Brain Maze you steer two players to the goal at the same time. Each level generates a fresh maze, the screen subtly rotates, and events or powerups keep you on your toes. Survive the clock, beat the chaser, and chase your personal best on a local top-10 board.

Key Features

• Dual control: Move two characters together—true “left brain / right brain” gameplay.

• Three modes:

  • Campaign: Beat waves before the timer drains; rotation ramps in later levels.

  • Sprint: Short, snappy runs with a dash. Pure speed and precision.

  • Chase (Survival): Outrun a smart chaser, grab powerups (Speed / Freeze / Jam), and last as long as you can.

• Assisted option (Campaign): Optional path hint overlay—perfect for learning routes.

• Reactive presentation: Ambient background, soft wall shading, glowing goals/powerups, subtle beat pulse.

• Local leaderboards: Top 10 per mode—no accounts, no data collection.

• Gamepad-friendly: Designed for controllers and Steam Deck; keyboard works great too.

• Quick sessions: One more run energy; perfect for streaming or couch co-op “you take right, I take left.”

Controls

• Player 1: WASD

• Player 2: Arrow Keys

• Dash (Sprint): Left/Right Shift (or L2/R2 on gamepad)

• Gamepad: Left stick = P1, Right stick/D-pad = P2, A = Select, Start = Pause

• Audio: M toggle, + / - volume

Notes

• Procedural levels keep runs fresh; fairness checks ensure solvable spawns.

• Leaderboards are saved locally in the game folder. Offline, no tracking.

• Music can be turned off; volume is remembered between sessions.

System Requirements

• Windows: 64-bit, Windows 10/11, ~4 GB RAM, OpenGL 2.1+

• Linux (x86_64): Modern distro (glibc ≥ 2.35), ~4 GB RAM, OpenGL 2.1+

• Keyboard or gamepad recommended. ~300 MB free space.

How to Play

1. Pick a mode (try Campaign first).

2. Get both players into the glowing goal.

3. Don’t waste movements—the timer (or chaser) doesn’t forgive!

4. Post your initials if you crack the Top 10.

Have fun—and good luck keeping both halves of your brain in sync. 🧠✨
